This week on "Off the Cuff," Justin is joined by NASFAA Senior Policy Analyst Jill Desjean and NASFAA U Instructor David Tolman to break down the latest on gainful employment as the Department of Education’s (ED) negotiated rulemaking committee once again tackles the topic. David and Justin then discuss disbursing Title IV aid for a completed payment period and what aid offices need to know to avoid any pitfalls. Justin also brings in Owen for a quick recap of NASFAA’s Leadership & Legislative Conference & Expo, along with news out of ED of more targeted student loan debt relief for borrower defense claims.
